On Real America: Go On, Move Here Then
Thanks for responding so reasonably and sensibly to that awful post. I abandoned my own response to it when I realized it could best be described as "spittle-flecked invective."
I have a little cousin who's graduating from ASU with two double majors this month. She's hauling out of there for grad school. It makes me sad that my grandpa, who is dark skinned, speaks with a slight accent, born in El Paso, and was an engineer who worked for Sandia Labs, doesn't feel safe going to her graduation ceremony. The original poster's friend is frustrated, but so are we. We're afraid of being harassed, afraid of being shamed, afraid of being told that in spite of a lifetime of citizenship, that we don't really belong here.

I thought "Up In the Air" was the longest, most depressing commercial American Airlines has ever made.

On Sally Quinn, Disinvited
I wonder if Greta gets any consolation from the fact that after this column, all the world understands what a dreadful person her stepmother is.

On Bed Bugs: Is No One Safe?
Additionally, the Polaroid wall paper would make an excellent place for those little bastards to lay their eggs. It looks cool, but if I were you I'd take it down sooner than immediately.

On Bed Bugs: Is No One Safe?
I wrote a whole long comment that just got eated, but it comes down to this: if your landlord is doing this now, he is not going to get better. I had a very similar situation (my landlord pretended he could only speak Greek).Molly, plan to move, budget to move, and when you move take as little as possible with you.

On Ask 'Them': Hello, I Voted For George Bush. Twice! Let's Talk!
Dear Republican,
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and take your warmed-over snark and tone-deaf put-downs as a sign of defensiveness, rather than smug self-satisfaction. Having done that, I'd like to know: Sarah Palin. All y'all knew that that was a terrible mistake, right?
